FN01R-C or Typhooni''m still not sure on the sizes...17x8+27 all around? or 17x9+15 all around?or 17x8+27 front and 17x9+35 rear?i'm afraid that 17x8+27 sits too inside.... a friend told me that 17x9+15 has camber problems.. it is on his car and he only has springs.... i am so confused.....

i think you have to run significant negative camber to fit those x9's...i donno though those are hot rims, i say 17x8 all around, and just run 245's alla round...:D

damn... i think everyone is going for those wheels these days! Those are exactly what I am planning on buying for my s14. I am going to run 17x8 all around... didnt know they came in +27 offset and I was planning on a +32 or 35

But im going with all black. Who are you buying them from?

27 front is good, on the rear, Im not positive, you can run the +35, it shouldnt have any poroblems(we have lots of room in the rear) if you can get a +33 or +30 on the rear that should be good.-chet

You meant 235/45/17, no? 135 would be just a Tad slim. :)

How much did you pay for them?
